Our Sunshine

I wrote this poem after someone I knew passed away. This was inspired by his family because I wanted to give them a description his personality from the very first time I met him to the very last day.This is not only for me but for his family as well.

Our Sunshine

“I love you, I love you”

He said as I first said hello

I looked at his eyes

With mine full of surprise

He smiled real big and then said again,

“I love you, I love you”

Jokes and jokes came from his mouth

Words and words made him unique

His laughter was loud

His spirit so bright

Again and again he said

“I love you, I love you”

Dress me up, dress me up he cried

Merry he was as we played

Shades went on

Scarf wrapped around

Gangster chain on to top it off

All who saw him smiled real big

“I love you, I love you”

He cried over and over again

“You are my sunshine, you are my sunshine”

He sang out loud and clear

“You make me happy when skies are grey”

His smile like no other

He made sure all knew

That he was happy,

Happy because he had them

“I want to walk, I want to walk”

He cried out loud

Tall he stood

Proud he looked

Step by step

He held his poise

When he saw her his world was never the same

Her smile made him smile

Her touch made him happy

Her words soothed his ears

Her loved captured his heart

She was his world

She was his light

He gave her his love

He gave her his heart

He gave her his soul

He gave her his life

A life together with nothing but love

“I love you, I love you”

He told her every single day

His marriage was beautiful

His family so good

His career so amazing

His compassion always shining

He loved his work

And devoted himself

All who knew him were proud

They were in awe of what he had accomplished

You are beautiful, you are beautiful

He announced one day

I called him handsome

His smile so big

When we joked around

He had a smirk on his face

He laughed in a way that no words could say

The last day I saw him

As I went to say goodbye

I told him I loved him

And how much he changed my life

“I love you, I love you”

Were the last words that I heard

Waltz of Love

I know, its been over a year since my last post. The past year was very busy. I just recently wrote something new and everyone who has read it has had nothing bad to say, so I figured its time to actually post it now. I did this on a night shift for work. Enjoy!

Waltz of Love

Noise, it fills her ears. People, they gather all around her. Aromas, they fill her nose. Walls, they trap her in. Heat, it fills the room. Joy, it is glowing all around her. Thoughts, they fill her head.

She sits at a party and how she feels is the same each time. Not sure why, she pushes herself past all the terrible things she feels. Because it’s important to all those around. If she appears to have a bad time, she fears she will hurt them and she doesn’t want to be the reason why. She has struggled with people all her life. She never got close and never cared to open her heart to those who showed her care. Her biggest fear is losing those she loved. She didn’t want to lose her heart, let it be torn, let it be crushed. She guarded it with all she had because of her lack of trust.

Drowning herself in the crowd of people she sits alone full of sorrow. She doesn’t want to be seen, she doesn’t want to open up. With a tear on her cheek she raises her head from her knees. A swift movement catches her gaze. She follows it until she sees a man. With curiosity she looks, and gazes upon a face. This face is like no other she has ever seen. He drew her in and she wanted to know more. His eyes locked on hers. In the room crowded with people, he was the only one she saw. Full of questions she saw he was coming near. He extended his hand out to her and asked her if she “would dance with him a Waltz of Love”. Accepting his offer she took his hand, and entered his dance. His Waltz of Love would soon be her very own song to sing and shout for every day to come.

He began his dance and brought her in close, taking her hand he held her tight.  She felt him close and began to trust. When she gazed upon his eyes of love, she started to realize something new. With a voice so faint, she uttered one word, “Why?” and began to cry. With eyes so sincere he captured her gaze; he answered simply, “Trust in your heart”. He wiped away the tears and began to dance his Waltz of Love. A message so clear she began to see, see who he really was. He continued to lead and guided her through. He showed her each step as she followed him, she was beginning to trust him and open her heart.  With one little stumble was all that it took, to shake her trust and set her back. Without saying a word he picked her up and brought her back into his warm embrace. She pushed away because of her failing trust. With a firm but gentle hand, he was able to show her that she could trust. He pushed away the hair from her face and tilted her chin so she could look into his eyes. Once he had her eyes locked on his, he told her to trust because he was love. He told her this dance was her song as well, that she could be happy and trust that she was loved. He told her his guidance and tight embrace is what she needed most because without him she was a lost soul. She let go of her fear and let him inside. Her heart was open for the very first time. As his loved poured and flowed into her heart, she was happy for the very first time. “Oh Lord oh Lord,” she cried out to him, “your love is so beautiful for I do not deserve.”  With sweet simple reply “My child, my beloved, my love is so good and so perfect for you, trust in me and it is forever free.” With tears of joy and a heart full of hope, she continued his waltz, for it is now her new song and forever and ever will be the dance that she sings, The Waltz of Love.
